School Shopping

For the last 2 yrs my daughter has had to wear a uniform to school. I hate uniforms, they say it saves money, and cuts down on confusion over clothes at the school. But let me tell you, it does not save money, because you have to buy uniforms, plus additional clothes to wear on the weekend and when they are not in school. And to cut down on confusion...Whatever, people with more money will buy more expensive uniforms, and keep them clean, and the people who don't care about their kids, will show when the white shirts are no longer white and the kids are looking like ragga muffins...lol...

So this year she is going to a new school for 1st grade, and saying goodbye to uniforms. And I have been school shopping like crazy. and it feels good, I can buy stuff from anywhere, Target, Macy's, Walmart, Limited too, Burlington etc.....

So...

Today I went to talk with my surgeon today. His name is Dr. Morris and his is the top surgeon at Regions Hospital. He is was very informative, and answered all our questions. Which was very comforting. We went over everything from what he was going to do, to healing time, and reconstruction. We also set my date for the surgery, which will be Monday August 17, 2009. So it is very soon. And I'm not prepared mentally at all, and I don't think I will be when they day finally arrives. But my husband very supportive, My mom will be here on the 13th or 14th. And I have a couple of friends I can count on, and last but certainly not least, GOD he is in control.

So as thing progress I will let you know how I'm feeling, and how things are going. I will continue to try and stay positive through this whole experience.

Last Chemo Treatment...

Well today is the last day of chemo. And I'm happy is all get out..lol. It has been a long time coming. But I'm not going to complain about how long it's been because there are some people who will be getting chemo for the rest of their life. I'm blessed and thankful that one day I will be cancer free.....

anyways..

I'm so glad my favorite nurse Jennifer is working. She was not here for my last treatment. And the nurse that was assisting me at my last treatment Patrice, yeah she just a little on the rough side. She was good, just a little rough. (She hurt me when she put in my IV and everything). So I tell Jennifer about Patrice, and Jennifer informed me that she use to be a nurse in the service. So that's prob why she's a little rough. But Jennifer on the other hand, is very gentle..

Ok...

So the next step is surgery, a surgery I'm so not looking forward to. I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for this. I mean who really looks forward to surgery...Prob no one...

Ok, the reason for the Friendship 101 entry.

So me and my friend had an argument...

This is the situation...

At this point everybody knows that I have breast cancer, and I'm on leave from work. So when she goes to work I watch the kids, (my daughter and hers). OK. so I asked/told her last week that she needs to take Tues July 28th off because I had to go to chemo, and I didn't want to take the kids. Because for one, it's a hospital, two I will be getting chemo and there will be others there doing the same thing, three they just make to much noise. and other reasons I don't need to get into...

any ways...

so as far as I know she was taking the day off, so today July 27, I go to her and ask her did she take tomorrow off. She then tells me that she can't take any more days off...(Hold up) so I asked why didn't you tell me that..she said she just found out on Thurs and she forgot I didn't want to take the kids...now how you forget that, I don't know. And it didn't come to you at all even though you are off Fri, Sat and Sun. I mean even when I mentioned, it's my last chemo treatment, or that I didn't want to go. WOW amazes me...

anyways

we get into an argument because I feel like it was inconsiderate, to even forget, this is my life, my health and you forget something as important as this. I mean I understand she has been going thru some stuff, and she has been stressed and I haven't forgot that..But nothing she is going through compares to having cancer. And if it was the other way around, I wouldn't forgot that. Did I mention this is suppose to be my best friend.

Friendship 101 thoughts...

Is there a Friendship for Dummies book out there somewhere?

Is there really a such thing a best friend?

Can a real Friendship over come anything?

Maybe I don't know the definition to the word Friendship?

Maybe I'm the one doing it wrong?

When 2 friends are having problems, the one with the biggest problem out trumps yours.

You should always take you friends feeling in consideration.

When a friend feels something is important as a friend you should remember it.

Hold on AM I a good friend.

Maybe I think I am but really not?

Will my friends comment on this?

I guess I will stop here...
